I was happy to know some my friends. They have improved my lunar activity for the GLR group, sharing many works with me.
My name is Jim Phillips. I
began observing in 1965 when my Mom gave me a 2.5"
reflector for my 15th birthday. I still have the
notebook full of observations I made with that
scope. I have kept an astronomical journal ever
since. I came across a drawing of Posidonius in the
back of a Cave-Astrola catalogue and I was hooked. I
wanted to see detail like that for myself. I have
drawn Posidonius first with a 6" F/8 Dynascope May
2, 1968, then an 8" F/6 Meade Newtonian, 4" and 7"
maksutovs and 6" and 9" apochromatic refractors.
For a while I was Director of the ALPO Lunar Dome
Survey. Until 1 year ago I was almost totally a
visual observer making drawing and taking notes at
the eyepiece. I began imaging in October 2003 and
have contrinued
although I still observe visually as well. Because of the close approximation of the Moon to the Earth an amateur can observe fascinating detail on the surface of the Moon with quite small telescopes. I greatly enjoy spending time looking at the magnificent detail the lunar surface offers. I am interested in the GLR beause the observers are so friendly and there is real work going on that I can contribute to. |
My name is
Maria Teresa Bregante.
I was born in Lavagna (Ge) in 25.8.1957 and i'm living in Sestri
Levante (Ge)
I'm designer armored cement in engineering office
I follow astronomy by several years, observing Planets, in
particular the Moon for scientific purpose.
I'm owner Nextar8GPS with my
friend.
My hobbyes favourite lissen to music and particular reading.

My name is KC Pau- Currently, I mainly
use a 10″ f/6 Newtonian reflector for my visual observation and imaging
of the Moon and Planets. For high resolution imaging, I use a 5x barlow
and a Philips Toucam Pro webcam. The advantage of using webcam is that
it can catch the best seeing moment during the image capture process.
Then the AVI file is processed and stacked with Registax and the
resulting image is further processed with Photoshop. However, my CN212
is also a fine telescope for visual observation and imaging too. I used
it to take many fine lunar images before I acquire the 10″ reflector. I
am a workshop instructor in a local vocational institute. My observing
site is located just on the outskirts of the city center of Hong Kong.
It’s surrounded by skyscrapers. During the night, flood lights from
commercial buildings illuminate the sky like the day. Under this sky
condition, I limit myself to observe bright heavenly objects such as the
Moon and the Planets. However, the hot air currents dissipated from
neighbourhood air-conditioners affect the seeing condition very much.
The seeing condition at my site is always around 4~5/10 and seldom
reaches 7/10 or higher. The only way I can do is to wait for the short
but best moment to press down the CAPTURE button. The waiting time may
be an hour or more. Anyway, I have to wait for the objects to come out
from the neighbouring skycrapers.

My name is Richard Evans.I was born in January
1956 in the New England region of the United States.I am a
physician specializing in legal medicine.My undergraduate
training was in chemistry and mathematics. I have been an amateur astronomer
for about thirty five years.My favorite instrument is a 235 mm
Schmidt Cassegrain.My main interest is in lunar topography and
geology. I use shape from shading techniques, stereo matching,
terrain mapping and shadow measurements to study lunar
features.I am also interested in multispectral and hyperspectral
imaging of the lunar surface and plan to devote more time to
these areas in the coming year.I would like to develop a
technique that would allow amateur astronomers to easily drape
geologic information over three dimensional terrain maps of
lunar features.I am interested in finding uncomplicated and
accessible techniques to enable amateur astronomers to extract
topographic and geologic information from their lunar images. My interests outside of
astronomy include classical music, French literature and
aviation.

Paolo Lazzarotti
I was born in 1973 in
Massa, Tuscany, and I started my passion with Astronomy in 1995 when the
beatiful Hale-Bopp comet appeared in the sky and caught my attention.
Hence, I observed and imaged anything crossing the sky but the light pollution here narrowed my interest in the planetary field only.My interest with Planets and the Moon grown up quickly over years and now I even built by myself a dedicated instrument for the hires study of the Solar System. I'm contributor with GLR group since some year and co-author with lots of their papers. |
Chuck is the
author of The Modern Moon - A Personal View and of The Lunar 100 Card, and
coauthor of Volcanoes of North America and Astronaut's Guide to Terrestrial
Impact Craters. He writes the monthly Exploring the Moon column in Sky and
Telescope and created the following web sites: Although he has been a NASA civil
servant, Chuck still observes with a 5" Mak-Newt and admires the wonderful work
done by members of GLR.
A SHORT PRESENTATION
My talk introducing the Geologic Lunar Research
group at the Lunar Morphology conference at Stellafane, Springfield, VT.
This presentation will give a short overview about the most important topics studied by our group. A full presentation may be seen as animated slides for powerpoint.
